At the mo I have an ongoing complaint with the dwp since 2019  which is now at the stage of me asking my mp to forward to the ombudsman  


What I wanted to ask is if anyone has heard of back dating of uc capability for work payments  

I received back dated payments from 2019 - 2022 which I think shows a serious error by the dwp 

I've heard of 3 months backdating but never 3 years

    @messym Welcome to the community! I hope your MP will be able to support you with the complaint :) Just to let you know I have popped your post into our Universal Credit Section of the forum.

    I haven't heard of them back dating that far, I hope you get an answer soon :)

    Yes, they have been known to backdate it for that long. What's the serious error?
